Im trying to buy a basic Rolex, couple grand, in cash and nobody would even help me or my mom. She makes a 350k a year as well. Idk if its cuz they saw we werent white. We walked up a display case and the lady just walked away intentionally

Whatever I guess, Ill just look for one online

Maybe you looked too rich and they thought that a Rolex was below your tax bracket

@OliviaWildThing is CE's resident watch guy, and iirc, he said something about needing some kinda middleman to buy a Rolex, but I could be remembering things wrong

Not upset. Wondering why the middle class white males of this board, or a neet like yourself feels the need to talk down to a minority that got himself out the hood in Chicago.

I will never apologize or feel bad for making something out of my life, sorry not sorry

Prolly 'cause you're always defending blatantly bad cops.

Might have something to do with it.

Relax dude. Hes not talking down to you. And you werent discriminated against. You need to dress the part. You cant just walk in wearing plain clothes. You need to make phone calls beforehand. Do some simple research online first.

you mean grey market? as in non official rolex store. the answer is yes, but then you're paying grey market prices, which is 1.5-3x the current MSRP depending on what color rolex you want. the oyster perpetuals are HOT right now btw, without spending history a dealer told me it was a 2-3 year waitlist. my local dealer likes me now, so he told me less than a year

It's not an opinion. It's a fact that you've frequently defended the illogical actions of police officers. This is just the first time I'm pointing it out, but it's not the first time in general. You know that.

You know what I might do instead? Just buy a cheap-ass $10 watch that still tells the time just as well.

Or even better, not buy a watch at all because it's 2021 and I have a smartphone like everyone under 80.

I had a similar thing in a high end jewellery store here.

I went in wearing jeans and a t-shirt because it was the weekend, the woman behind the counter steadfastly ignored me. I ended up going fuck it, even though Id been quite prepared to drop a shit ton on a Christmas present for my wife.

Went back in a few weeks later on my lunch break, was dressed in my full corporate asshat attire and she was falling over herself to be helpful. Obsequious to the point of being ridiculous. I was like nahhh that shit doesnt fly.

I told her to serve someone else and asked one of the other assistance to ring me up. No way was she getting a commission from my purchase.
